For millennia, military doctrine has fixated on battles, firepower, and maneuver—yet history’s greatest victories were won not by those who fought best, but by those who ensured their enemy could not fight at all. This is the Law of Oxygen: war is decided by logistics, not combat.

From Mongol conquests to modern cyberwarfare, control of supply chains has dictated outcomes more decisively than battlefield engagements. As warfare shifts to digital infrastructure, cyberattacks, AI-driven interdiction, and economic sanctions now define strategic dominance. Nations that fail to adopt a logistics-first doctrine will be defeated before the first shot is fired.
